It is the roaring 20‘s, and while there’s electricity in the air, unnatural storms are brewing as well. Strange things are happening in the small Massachusetts town of Arkham; people have gone missing, sightings of indescribable creatures grow more and more frequent. And the very air thickens with a sense of foreboding that roils like an acrid mist through the streets.
The Ancient Ones are stirring...

Has anyone made templates to create your own monsters or items for 3E?
I'm addicted to the arkham horror board game and want to make a roguelite expansion to it and need help figuring out how to make that work
I have recently been addicted to Eldritch Horror and have played it non-stop with my friend. I have heard plenty of good reviews about Arkham Horror 3E, with many stating that it is their preferred game over EH, so I am thinking of purchasing it. As luck would have it, it is currently on sale because of Black Friday. I am thinking of getting it, but I wanted to get the community's opinion beforehand.
If I get it, I would like to purchase it with all the expansions already since it's pretty difficult to purchase board games where I live since the game is already out of print, and resellers often sell older games for nearly 2x the original price.
How similar is the game to Eldritch Horror? Is it the same to assume that since I enjoyed EH, I would enjoy AH3E? How would you all rate the expansions? Which ones would you say are "must haves," and which ones can be skipped or added very little?
PS. Sorry, I know this question has been asked a lot, but the majority of posts like this are already quite dated, so I wanted to get more updated opinions. Thanks!
I have Arkham 2nd and Dunwich. I also have the base game of 3rd. With the holiday deals I am presented with a choice. Get all of the expansions for 3rd or a single expansion for 2nd. Which would you choose and why?
I play as Sister Mary. Her base focus is 1. She got injury card that gives her -1 focus. Does it mean that I can’t move her sliders anymore?
Finally found, and new in shrink too. Looking forward to the Institutions. So much going on in the game now.
What's your favourite go to mechanics to include most games? I almost always run the moving exhibit, lurker gates, injury/madness, cultists that move towards seals green thing, blights, and now hopefully institutions.
What's the best app to randomise for group plays?
Next step is to find Black Goat and then create an organiser.
The Forbidden Visions of Lucius Galloway releases today. I have a review available here.
11/15/1926: Strange lights appear over Kingsport.
Hi everyone! I've got a question for you fellow investigators: do you use content from expansions (I mean new items, allies, etc.) when you play scenarios from the base game, or you remove the new cards from the decks and only use them in the new scenarios?
Soooo i sat down for arkham checking/googling lots of rules. As expected i did alot wrong. But there's 1 thing I cant find.
Codex card: 136 It says monsters trear theire closet bystander as their prey (instead of normal prey) My question being what do they do when there are no bystanders left?
A: afk? B: switch to original prey?
Seeing as how FFG doesn’t seem interested in creating more expansions… I created a my own custom expansion based on Dr Herbert West. I posted the files on BGG. If interested, you can download the files from here:

Would love any feedback! Thanks!
11/2/1890: "Skids" O'Toole is born.
You can learn more about "Skids" in my lore article on the investigators of "Night of the Zealot"
His ability states that he can perform the attack action any number of times. Does that means he can one shot any monster? That doesn't make sense to me, there's something that I'm missing?
Was hoping someone with the King in Yellow Expansion for the 2nd edition could answer a question for me. What do the front and back of the Yellow Sign tokens look like and how many are there?
10-31-1925: Preston Fairmont and Minnie Devane have their engagement party at the MU Observatory, one of their friends doesn't survive the experience. Norman Withers crashes the event to sneak snacks.
Learn more in "The Last ritual" from Aconyte and my article about Preston.
Just wanted to tell someone here .. it’s still at 167$ but that’s much lower than I’ve ever seen it and the buyer might take less ! I would never spend that much on a game (and I PNPed the first edition already )
I’m trying to get everything cleaned up and assembled from what I have printed so I can prime them before it’s too cold to prime. The nightgaunt is the star of the show, but it’s not assembled. He’s extremely delicate (already broke a foot), but I’m considering priming and painting him separately from the base.
Here's a close-up on the miniature. You can see he has a belt... but also weird suspenders that tuck into his belt/pants as well. The miniature is fantastic, but I can't figure out what is going on here. Character art shows that he sometimes wears a suit jacket under his trench coat, so maybe the artist got confused there? I considered that it could be gun holsters, but those tend to just wrap around the arms like backpack straps so they're hidden.
So I just received the 2nd edition that I got lucky on. I got a great deal from a thrift store on eBay for $30. The only piece missing was one of the money tokens and everything was in amazing condition. I am curious if anyone has done the following:
Miniatures - have you added minis and if so, where did you find them?
Money - physical money, what type?
Fan made content - Is there any?
Anything else you’ve added that adds to quality of life?
Hi! Basically what title says
I was trying to google but was only able to find the app for the cards game, I was wondering if such exists for 3ed
Thank you in advance!
